Barbecue Shrimp

This isn’t a Memorial Day recipe – unless you happen to be vacationing at the beach. In which case, get yourself to the nearest fish market buy some fresh shrimp so you can make this!

Whenever we are at the beach, we always try to buy fresh shrimp in a local seafood market and make one of our favorite fish recipes – Barbecue Shrimp. This recipe comes from Cooking Light and is fantastic! The barbecue comes from all the spices that are added – it’s not a traditional barbecue sauce.

The hardest part of this dish (and it’s not hard at all!) is adding the 11 spices to the skillet. Fish cooks really fast, so this is a definite under 30 Minute meal!

Ingredients

1/2 cup fat-free Caesar dressing

1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon paprika – I use about 1/2 TBL

1 tablespoon dried rosemary

1 tablespoon dried thyme

1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

5 bay leaves

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 pounds large shrimp

1/3 cup dry white wine

10 (1-ounce) slices French bread baguette

10 lemon wedges

Preparation

Combine the first 11 ingredients in a large nonstick skillet; bring to a boil. Add shrimp, and cook 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add wine, and cook 1 minute or until shrimp are done. Serve with bread and lemon wedges.

It couldn’t be any simpler! I like to serve it over rice. All that sauce is delicious in the rice and then you have a crusty bread to help finish off the rest of it!

We will be grilling hamburgers today, but I’m still remembering this yummy dish from our beach vacation! What are you cooking up on this Memorial Day?
